UWL secures funding to complete Prairie Springs Science Center

First phase approved a decade ago, completed in 2018

LA CROSSE – The University of Wisconsin-La Crosse (UWL) is already celebrating the forthcoming completion of the dual-phase Prairie Springs Science Center project after its remaining funding was secured with the passage of the most recent Wisconsin State Biennial Budget.

Chancellor James Beeby said the first half of the Prairie Springs Science Center was approved in 2015 and “was, at that point, split into two projects.” 

“The first part of the building was completed in 2018,” he said. “Since then, we’ve been really pushing hard to get the second part finished, and now we’ve received the funding. We are very thankful to the State Legislature and the governor for doing that.”..
